The Apostle Paul once said that without love, profound understandings and gorgeous insights are nothing. The Apostle Paul was given to understatement.
Greatness is in service — me serving you.
Is someone jittery around you? Perhaps the random reinforcement of your inconsistent love makes them operate like a flat screen TV with a low refresh rate — they flicker and tear.
Love your neighbor as yourself complicates during war.
Little is big, as in our first baby step, our very first spoken word and our first tentative movement to love someone else.
We don’t want complicated; we want simple. Complicated is “Thanks, but I was hoping …” Simple is “Thanks.” Complicated is “I’ll take this, you take that.” Simple is “You can have all of it.” Complicated is, “Let me think about it and get back to you.” Simple is “I’ll do it now.” Complicated is “I’m sorry, but you …” Simple is simply “I’m sorry.”
We crave crazy-devoted love, die-hard love, romantic, gift-giving, promise-making, always-there love. We want someone who won’t leave the house after we fight, who will be first to the hospital room when it all goes wrong and who will be still sitting beside us holding our hand when we are old and wrinkled. Crave it? Then give it.
Give much and you’ll recieve much; this is the diurnal, rhythmic activity cycle of love.
